In only a year in the restaurant business, Atlanta Hawks center Zaza Pachulia has acquired two locations and already closed one which he is reopening next month under a new name and concept.

Last summer, Mr. Pachulia, a native of the former Soviet republic of Georgia, purchased Eno on Peachtree Street near the Fox Theater. He renamed it Eno by Zaza.

Eno has now been closed and will reopen next month as the Fifth Street Cafe.

"It is going to be a French bistro-style," Mr. Pachula told GlobalAtlanta. "It will be a very casual and inexpensive place."

In the new venture, Mr. Pachulia is partnering with Atlanta restaurateur A.D. Allushi and chef Ian Winslade. The three have also opened a bar and restaurant, Buckhead Bottle Bar, at 268 East Paces Ferry Road.

Mr. Pachulia purchased the 95-seat Eno, located at 800 Peachtree St., last summer after signing a new four-year, $19 million deal with the Hawks.

Eno, which had a Mediterranean-style menu, was then gaining national television exposure, with the restaurant's chief chef at the time, Eli Kirshtein, competing on the Top Chef television show.

Sandra Saakashvili, the first lady of Georgia, dined at Eno during a trip to Atlanta in September.
